New cpu

[HairyPotter]

So I’m planning on a new build for a gaming/streaming/editing pc any idea on what processor that would be perfect for just under $280?

[TheRandomness]

A Ryzen 5 2600 or 2600X (I haven't looked at the prices yet).
What parts have you chosen for the rest of the build?

If you can find an x99 motherboard a used 6800k or 5820k are good options

A gtx 1070, Corsair 16gb ram 2666mhz, 750w psu,250gb ssd, 1tb hdd, kraken x52 aio, phanteks eclipse p300

That PSU is complete overkill, a 450W one would run a GTX 1080 Ti with those specs just fine (though you can go 550W if you want headroom). I still recommend the 2600 or 2600X though.

I chose the 750w because I don’t want to change my psu for the next 7-8 years, and what to go for the 2600 or the 2600x I don’t see much difference

The 2600X is clocked higher and therefore will offer more performance out the box. Remember to get a B350 motherboard that isn't from MSI or Gigabyte, or any X370 motherboard to allow for overclocking. A 550W PSU would still last a hell of a long time, considering that PC parts are only going to get more and more power efficient in the future.

Why not x370? And why not MSi gigabyte they’re supposed to be reliable?

Msi + mid ranged mobo = garbage
